This rally is the first in a series of events that will unite the body of Christ in defense of “the least one of these”, the children of our nation. "The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.' (Matthew 25:40). We are calling all churches in Miami to participate. Please, spread the word.

In crafting and opposing legislation, the Bar's goal is simple: write family law to maximize judicial discretion in order to maximize litigation. The Bar wants to maximize litigation so that divorce lawyers can charge vast sums to pick the last remaining dollars off the bones of the formerly intact family.

I urge Florida citizens to wake up to this hypocrisy and ask Scott to sign the alimony bill that passed both chambers by more than a 2-1 margin.

The Family Law Section of the FL Bar's real motivation:

The letter below was published in The Tampa Bay Times on Saturday, April 27, 2013 and is followed by the Editorial to which it responded. It was published by Gordon E. Finley, Ph.D. , FIU Professor Emeritus in Department of Psychology with a Ph.D. in Social Relations from Harvard University. He has studied the effects of alimony on families and children for many years. Dr. Gordon has given us permission to re-publish his letter as needed.Letter titled: "The Bar's real motivation"

Here is why Gov. Rick Scott should ignore the Divorce Vultures of the Family Law Section of the Florida Bar and sign the Alimony Reform bill.The Florida Bar is motivated only by greed — not the best interests of the child or even those of the divorcing parents.

Ever since the Violence Against Women Act of 2012 (VAWA) squeaked out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote, everyone from actors in Hollywood to the New York Times has been bullying members of the Senate to co-sponsor and soon vote for VAWA (“Reese Witherspoon warns kids of domesti…

Our family courts are nearly all-powerful, unaccountable star chambers that openly reject due process, traditional legal rights and the Constitution itself. Family courts are civil courts or courts of equity, not criminal courts, so most constitutional protections and procedures do not apply, even though these courts have been given tremendous power. They routinely take couples’ children away from them without trial on the flimsiest accusation of abuse from a teacher or neighbor, limit or eliminate one or both parents’ contact with their own children after divorce without any evidence of wrongdoing on the parents’ part, order parents to pay the fees of lawyers and psychotherapists they did not hire, and send parents to jail without a hearing.

Conservative Americans fancy that socialism has been largely defeated or that its greatest remaining threat lies in taxation and spending. They forget that the dream of leftist revolutionaries for centuries has been not only to equalize wealth and social status, but to eliminate all distinctions among the citizens of their ideal republic. All of these revolutionaries from Marx on down have targeted the family for destruction.

Undemocratic Institution

The family is a highly undemocratic institution. The nuclear family consists of one man and one woman, a highly specific and unliberated straitjacket of a social structure. They have loyalty to one another greater than that to society at large and also dedication to their own children, over whom they have authority—and any private authority is a rival to the government’s. To a true democrat, this preference for one’s spouse and authority over one’s children violates the principle of equality, which proclaims that we must treat everyone exactly the same. For the modern democratic statist, these loyalties and authorities weaken his own power and inhibit the ongoing concentration of all authority in one central government.

Stephen Baskerville’s Taken Into Custody: The War Against Fathers, Marriage, and the Family (Cumberland House) details just how far leftists have succeeded in abolishing the family. Of course, anyone with a cursory knowledge of the state of the American family knows that it has been largely destroyed, with most children spending at least part of their childhoods without one of their biological parents at home, a divorce rate of more than 40%, an ever-increasing illegitimacy rate and no-fault divorce laws that render a marriage compact less legally enforceable than a cell-phone contract.

Yet what most do not know, even if they follow family issues, is that our family courts are nearly all-powerful, unaccountable star chambers that openly reject due process, traditional legal rights and the Constitution itself. Family courts are civil courts or courts of equity, not criminal courts, so most constitutional protections and procedures do not apply, even though these courts have been given tremendous power. They routinely take couples’ children away from them without trial on the flimsiest accusation of abuse from a teacher or neighbor, limit or eliminate one or both parents’ contact with their own children after divorce without any evidence of wrongdoing on the parents’ part, order parents to pay the fees of lawyers and psychotherapists they did not hire, and send parents to jail without a hearing.

Ron and Sherry Palmer are helping parents understand parental rights and children's rights and why they haven't been respected in divorce. Children are not property anymore -- children's rights and parent's rights are based on the concept of liberty. The questions we must now ask are: How do you assert your constitutional liberty rights? What is the true authority of the court and what is the true authority of the parents? Do the courts get to choose one fit parent over the other in divorce? Do children have a constitutional right to choose one parent over the other? Do children's rights entitle the child to cut a fit parent out of their life?

The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has been
interpreted to provide EVERY AMERICAN with the CONSTITUTIONAL right to
self-representation, if they so choose. That privilege, like all other
constitutional rights, should be enjoyed without fear of harassment, prejudice,
or abuse. Furthermore, no law, regulation, or policy should exist to abridge or
surreptitiously extinguish that right.

Self-Represented Litigants have no less of a right to FAIR
and MEANINGFUL due process under the federal and state constitutions as those
individuals who choose to utilize an attorney for their legal affairs and
issues. In fact, NOWHERE in any state or federal constitution does it specify
that the hiring of a lawyer is a prerequisite to exercising one's due process
rights. Democratic principles dictate that we have the right to freely choose
between self-

representation and hiring a lawyer to handle our legal matters
without suffering humiliation, prejudice, or penalization. After all, it is the
parties to the litigation that ultimately have to deal with the consequences of
the case's outcome, and not the judge or the lawyers involved in the matter.

Contrary to the view of certain judges and lawyers, those
who opt to litigate their own legal matters without an attorney are NOT
second-class citizens deserving of contempt and injustice. Instead, they are
BRAVE CITIZENS with an inalienable right to have their legal causes adjudicated
objectively and justly -- with or without a lawyer. Self-representation can be
a difficult, time-consuming, and often frightening experience, especially for
those burdened by demanding work schedules, family responsibilities, and other obligations
of day-to-day living. Accordingly, those who engage in the difficult task of
self-litigation should be REVERED for their COURAGE and DEDICATION, not scorned
or abused.

We also need to amass momentous opposition against those
persons, agencies, and institutions who, in the interest of protecting huge
profits, careers, and prestige, subject self-litigants to a hostile and often
abusive litigation atmosphere calculated to suppress self-representation and
force people to become completely and financially dependent on lawyers to gain
"paid" access to a taxpayer-funded legal system.

"Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." ~ Emperor Haile Selassie
